Motorola Solutions Inc Research Report
Motorola Solutions announced it will begin trading ex-dividend on March 13,
2013 with a dividend payout of 26 cents per share to be paid on April 15 this
year, the same amount paid in the previous two quarters. Shareholders who
purchased the company's stock before the ex-dividend date will be eligible for
the payment. Meanwhile, Zacks reiterates its "neutral" rating on Motorola
Solutions' stock due to mixed Q4 results, where the bottom line met
expectations though the top line failed to do so. Zacks says the company's
position as a market leader in the U.S. Public Safety market and will be able
to maintain its current top-line growth in the future, though its Enterprise
segment remains a near-term concern due to macro-economic uncertainties in
Europe. The Full Research Report on Motorola Solutions Inc - including full

Arris Group, Inc. Research Report
Arris Group's previously announced bid to acquire Motorola Home's cable
set-top box division from Google has been put to a hold by the Department of
Justice, after both parties received so-called "second requests" in relation
to the department's Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust review of the deal. The
decision will extend the waiting period imposed by the aforementioned
antitrust act until 30 days after each company has substantially complied with
the Second Request, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the
companies or terminated sooner by the DOJ. The Suwanee, Georgia-based Arris
agreed to buy Motorola Home for $2.35 billion in cash and stock from Google's
Motorola Mobility unit. Also part of the deal is Comcast, who will buy an 8
percent stake in Arris for $150 million. The Full Research Arris Group, Inc. -
